Backup and storage have changed a lot over the last several decades, and with every innovation has come a new wave of threats against it. Businesses rely on the information stored on their storage devices, and early on in the computer storage game hackers realized the value of holding this information hostage or even just destroying it for sport. As computer storage has evolved from punch cards to magnetic drives to the cloud, we are left to wonder whether protecting our data from hackers is ever going to be fully possible.
The first computer virus was developed as a test in 1971, and it spurred the first wave of computer scientists devoted to fighting hackers. The internet posed an even greater threat, as it made it possible to threaten data without even having to be on the premises.
Now that we rely on the cloud for data storage, we need new solutions for data protection. Learn more about the evolution of data storage and cyber protection from the infographic below.
